Thank u for ur help
^My first question now. Why no ICS? Assuming this isn't an actual storage issue, my first advice would be to update and possibly do a factory data reset.
This could be a hardware issue, but I doubt.
I believe you likely just have a lot of apps, data, and files on the internal memory. Use file explorer, or connect your device to your computer and use your computer's file explorer to check this. Ensure pictures are not being stored on internal memory, music, downloads, etc.
Even your SD card has almost 20 GB on it. Do you have that much on there, e.g. LOTS of pictures, music, documents???? I don't claim to know how everyone uses their device, but even with hundreds of pictures and thousands of songs, I'm not using half of that.

Using your file explorer see how much free space you have in /data or /data/app (assuming you are rooted), it is different than Internal Storage and the space is limited to 3GB I think.

4000 songs is a lot of space. Consider putting them on your external sd card instead of the internal storage. Or use google play music to save them to "the cloud" (or whatever it's called, I don't use that).
I have tried everything suggested except one. PLease help. I have all apps that i can move on external card, no music np pictures, have connected to my mac and believe i have deleted all i can from internal, the only thing i have not done is a full data restore to factory, first i dont know how and second i dont want to loose anything can someone help me i hate the annoying warning or tell me how to shut it off i am not rooted
No one can help me?
Try settings >storage.
You should see the available space for applications, and on internal and external.
I'm guessing one of those is getting full.
I'm not sure at want point you should get that warning but if any show less than say, 250MB you should consider deleting something.
Check that out and maybe post your results.
I remember getting that not long ago and sure enough my internal storage was low.

I know it is the internal dont know what else to do i have moved all my apps to the sd card, have no music videos or pictures thats why i am asking for help dont know what else to do. I have my backup software but that app sucks it doesnt restore things right so i am afraid to do a factory reset is someone could describe fully what to do id try that i am out of options
If your taking about internal and not application then A FRD won't help. This app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.diskusage
Should help you identify what's using your internal SD space.
